THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 32: You will address me as Miss Walport
Ethan's mind was set on overturning the established hierarchy in Los Angeles. Whether it was the hotel magnate, the restaurant mogul, or the delivery service owner, he planned to dismantle the dominance of these influential figures who had controlled the city for years. Among them, Tony was the first person who came to Ethan’s mind. Tony was a particularly bitter memory for Ethan, as he recalled his ex-wife Maya's taunts. “Look at Tony. His family is worth over a billion dollars. Can you even compare to him, you good-for-nothing?” she had said.Ethan's jaw tightened as he spoke to Clara. “I’ve heard that the West family is one of the top-tier families in Los Angeles, worth over a billion dollars. Is that true?”Clara responded, “You could say that. The West family was worth over a billion dollars two years ago, but their net worth has significantly dropped. They’re now probably worth around 500 million dollars, not much better than the Reynolds.”As Clara recalled Ethan’s claim from
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 33: Maya's arouse
Ethan was bewildered by Tony’s outburst. 'What’s wrong with this idiot? Does Tony West even have a functioning brain?'Ethan thought. 'What kind of nonsense is he spewing now?'Tony, convinced of his own cleverness, assumed he’d pieced everything together. He remembered Sarah and her colleagues talking about someone kneeling, and he surmised that Ethan must have been the one to kneel before Clara. He figured Ethan had begged for Clara’s forgiveness and pleaded to become her bodyguard.Tony smirked and taunted, “Ethan Sinclair, weren’t you so high and mighty at the birthday banquet? Miss Walport offered you a chance to be her bodyguard, and you turned her down. We all thought you were too proud to bow down. But now, here you are, groveling!”Tony laughed mockingly. “Haha, I didn’t expect you to get out of bed early and come here dressed as a bodyguard just to beg Miss Walport to let you be her lackey!”Turning to Clara, he added, “Miss Walport, don’t be fooled. During the banquet yeste
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 34: Crowd at the parking lot!
Maya’s frustration boiled over as she considered confronting Ethan and Clara directly. She longed to demand answers from Ethan about why he had kneeled for another woman and not her, and to accuse Clara of stealing what she felt was rightfully hers.Old Ms. Mimi, however, glared at Maya with disapproval and asserted, “Enough of your tantrum. Call Clara Walport. I want to speak with her personally.”Klein immediately complied, pulling out his cell phone and dialing Clara’s number with a swift motion. He handed the phone to Old Ms. Mimi, who took it with a resolute expression, ready to address the situation herself.Despite Old Ms. Mimi’s underlying anger, her voice remained calm and composed, reflecting her years of experience and dignity. She spoke with a measured authority, making her displeasure clear without losing her poise.“Miss Walport, I understand that Ethan has become your bodyguard. Had I known you had taken such an interest in him, I would have gladly offered him to you si
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM chapter 35: The hard slap
Ethan was wearing an immaculate Dior suit with his hair combed to the side. He was now chatting merrily with Clara.If Ethan weren't her ex-husband, Maya would have mistaken him for the domineering president of a company as she watched him stride over."This jerk dressed himself up so handsome after divorcing me!"Maya felt a pang of jealousy. If she had known that Ethan could look so much like a commanding executive, she would have insisted he wear a suit and tie throughout their marriage.Maya watched from a distance, feeling a pang of envy as she realized how impressive Ethan looked. If only she had been able to show him off at gatherings with her former classmates.Meanwhile, Ethan said to Clara, "Clara, pass me the car keys. I'll drive. Since you're wearing heels, it won't be convenient for you to drive."Clara had a pair of flats in her car that she usually changed into for driving. However, she felt that changing shoes in front of Ethan might seem awkward, so she handed the car
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM chapter 36: Salvatore brothers
Seeing Maya sobbing pitifully, Ethan felt a pang of emotion. He had treated her like royalty during their marriage, always attentive and protective, ensuring she was never upset or mistreated. The sight of her now, so distressed and vulnerable, was a stark contrast to the pampered life she had once enjoyed. In the past, Ethan would have fiercely defended her if anyone had dared to lay a hand on her. Yet, he understood that Clara's slap was a gesture of support for him and a reflection of Maya's own actions. Despite his empathy, Ethan couldn’t ignore that Maya had brought this upon herself with her behavior and choices.Ethan placed a reassuring hand on Clara's shoulder and said gently, "Forget it." Turning to Maya, he added firmly, "Leave. I’m no longer your man."Maya abruptly stopped crying, her tears drying up in an instant. The facade of her emotional vulnerability had always been carefully guarded from Ethan. "Even if I no longer want a dog I've raised for three years, I won't
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM chapter 37: Ethan still in love with me!
Even after driving out of the underground parking lot of the downtown office building, he could still hear Maya crying and whining. Maya had always been pompous and arrogant, so she clearly couldn't take being slapped in public. While driving, Ethan spoke to Clara, who was beside him. "Clara, you don't have to interfere in Maya and my affairs. "Do not slap her again." Clara could see Ethan was heartbroken for his ex-wife!Clara replied: "Yes, Mr Sinclair, but don't you hate her for treating you that way?" Ethan smiled and continued, "Love is the antithesis of hatred. Without love, how can there be hatred?" Clara no longer considered Ethan to be an inexperienced young man after hearing his quite thoughtful statements. As the scion of a distinguished family, his expertise and ideas were not to be overlooked. Ethan was gorgeous, came from an affluent family, had a unique perspective, and was very magnanimous and devoted to women. Clara started to fall for him.'I must win his heart!'
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 38: Not to visit the Reynolds villa
Ethan stepped into the office, his mind racing with thoughts of the previous evening. He and Clara had visited a trendy rooftop bar, but their interaction remained strictly professional. They quickly returned to work, leaving the lively atmosphere behind.As Ethan moved through the office, employees greeted him with a chorus of “Good morning, Mr. Sinclair.” He acknowledged them with a nod, his focus already shifting to the day’s tasks.Just as he was about to settle into his office, his phone buzzed. Alexander’s name flashed on the screen. Ethan frowned and answered the call, bracing himself for whatever urgent matter awaited.Alexander commanded, “Ethan, come to my grandmother’s place immediately. I’ve found evidence that you sold the watch you stole from us!”Ethan replied, “I’m too busy for that.”Alexander, growing impatient, retorted, “Ethan Sinclair, are you too scared to come? We’ve invited the person who bought the watch from you to our place. If you have any courage, come her
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 39: it’s time to let them know the truth
Old Ms. Mimi, a woman of immense wealth and influence, commanded respect both within her family and the broader community. Her assets were worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and her authority was unquestioned. However, she was deeply angered by Ethan’s persistent provocations and was determined to make him submit to her authority.At that moment, as she held her poodle, Lucky, in her arms, the dog suddenly leaped out and dashed towards Ethan.“Lucky!!”Ms. Mimi exclaimed in surprise, urgently calling for her pet. But Lucky ignored her and continued running towards Ethan.Ethan picked up Lucky with a broad smile, the poodle’s tail wagging furiously as it licked his hand with unrestrained joy. For the past three years, Ethan had been the one to meticulously care for Lucky. He cleaned up after the dog, took it to the vet for vaccinations, and nursed it back to health whenever it fell ill. This consistent care had forged a strong bond between them, making Ethan the person Lucky felt c

Chapter 104: Maya's first lie's
Raindrops continued to fall against the car window, the soft patter blending with the quiet hum of the night. The spot where Cayden had pulled over was shrouded in darkness, with barely any light reaching them.Inside the Aston Martin, the world outside felt distant. The heavily tinted windows ensured that no one could see in, and when Cayden switched off the headlights, the entire car sank into an eerie silence, like a hidden sanctuary where nothing could be seen or heard.Maya felt strangely safe in this secluded space. No one outside would be able to see anything, no matter what happened between her and Cayden.Their hands remained intertwined, fingers locked tightly together like lovers.Maya hesitated for a moment before finally speaking. “Cayden, I won’t lie… I do feel good about you too. You’re incredibly handsome, and you come from a powerful family. Which girl wouldn’t like you?”She let out a soft sigh before continuing, “But we’ve only known each other for a few days, after
Chapter 103: Cayden's confession
Although Cayden made Maya's heart race, she kept her composure, refusing to let it show.She playfully nudged Renee and scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? Unlike you, I don’t go around chasing after young men despite being married. I would never betray my husband."To Maya, Ethan was the perfect man—someone who embodied everything she had ever dreamed of in a husband.But Renee wasn’t about to let the conversation end there. With a sly smile, she leaned in and whispered, "I know you and Ethan love each other, but what’s the harm in a little fun? Let me tell you a secret—Cayden comes from a billionaire family too. He’s just as rich as your husband!""What?"Maya’s eyes widened in shock. 'How is it that I never met a billionaire before I got married, but now they seem to be popping up everywhere?'Since Cayden was blackmailing her, Renee had no choice but to continue pushing his case. She sighed and said, "Maya, let’s be real. Ethan might find out about what happened between
Chapter 102: she hesitated
Cayden had meticulously planned his encounter with Renee the day before, orchestrating the coffee spill at Starbucks just to initiate a conversation.Ever since Tony played that voice recording for him, Cayden had been obsessed with the idea of possessing Maya. The way she spoke, her presence, her reputation—it all fueled his desire. He swore he would have her, no matter what it took.Tony, ever the mastermind, had suggested the perfect strategy: use Maya’s best friend, Renee, as a pawn to get closer to her.The plan was set in motion that very night. Cayden seduced Renee, drawing her into his web. But his motives weren’t purely about pleasure. He had leverage—damaging information about Renee’s husband that could ruin his career. With that threat hanging over her, Renee had no choice but to comply with his demands.Forcing a smile, she introduced them. "Maya, meet Cayden Huxley—the architect I mentioned earlier. He’s one of the most sought-after talents in the industry. I thought he’d
Chapter 101: Cayden Huxley
Renee picked up the call, her voice casual yet curious. “Hey, I’m at Starbucks getting some work done. What’s up? Do you have good news?”Maya’s voice practically bubbled with excitement. “Yes! I’m pregnant!”“What?! That’s amazing—ahh!” Renee’s thrilled reaction was cut off by a sudden gasp.Maya frowned. “Renee? What happened?”At that moment, in the Starbucks café, a man had accidentally spilled his coffee all over Renee’s left shoulder. She sucked in a sharp breath, her initial irritation flaring as she turned to scold him—only to freeze when she saw him.Tall. Handsome. Oozing charm.Her annoyance evaporated in an instant.“Oh, it’s nothing,” Renee quickly said into the phone. “Just a little accident. I’ll call you later.”She ended the call and turned back to the man, who flashed an apologetic smile.“I’m really sorry about that, gorgeous. Let me help you clean up.”The young man pulled out a tissue and gently dabbed at Renee’s clothes, trying to clean up the spill.As he leaned

Los Angeles – Beverly VillaIt was nearly midnight when Ethan finally returned home.By then, Maya’s former college classmates had already left. However, to his surprise, her parents had stayed behind to help clean up.Stepping inside, Ethan raised an eyebrow. "You don’t need to clean up. I have a housekeeper for that."Miss Julia hurried over, beaming as she handed him a glass of water. "My dear son-in-law, you must be exhausted after such a long day at work. Here, have some water and rest."She then gestured toward the cluttered living room. "Servants won’t know how to handle everything properly. There are so many valuable decorations here—what if they break something? John and I have nothing better to do, so we thought we’d help out. Consider it a little exercise."John nodded in agreement, flashing a polite smile. "Yes, exactly! Just a bit of light exercise. It’s no trouble at all."Ethan glanced at them, amused. In the past three years, he had never once seen John or Miss Julia v
Chapter 98: Tony get the voice recorder
Tony was caught off guard when Cayden casually handed him a cigarette.For years, Cayden had openly looked down on him. In the past, whenever Tony had offered him a cigarette, Cayden would scoff and refuse without hesitation.‘Why the sudden change?’ Tony wondered. ‘Why is he being so friendly now? Could it be that this playboy has his eyes on Maya too?’Smirking, Tony accepted the cigarette and chuckled. "Maya isn’t just the most beautiful woman in Los Angeles—if you ask me, she’s the most stunning woman in the entire country! I’ve met countless women, but none of them even come close to her."Leaning in slightly, he added with a smug grin, "I’m not exaggerating when I say that no woman in New York can hold a candle to her."Cayden’s smirk deepened, his expression gradually turning more suggestive, his gaze laced with something almost predatory. "Interesting… Let’s continue this conversation at my villa."Without another word, he led Tony to his sleek Mercedes G-Wagon and drove off.

Chapter 96: coveting Hundred of Billions In assets
Two days after the funeral, Ethan and the Reynolds family left Pasadena.Seated in the back of a limited-edition Maybach Landaulet, Ethan and Maya held hands, their fingers intertwined as they basked in each other’s presence. The luxurious interior of the car exuded elegance, but the true glow came from the joy on Maya’s face.She turned to Ethan, eyes twinkling. “Honey, I was thinking… I’d love to invite some of my old college friends over for a little gathering tonight. It’s been ages since I last saw them, and I want to celebrate with the people who were once such a big part of my life. Would that be okay with you?”If they had been returning to their upscale apartment in New City Residential Estate, she wouldn’t have even needed to ask. But she was clearly referring to Ethan’s villa in Beverly Hills, a place she now saw as her own.Since their marriage, Maya had firmly believed that his home was hers as well.Ethan let out a quiet sigh, though his expression remained neutral.
